Thigh Lift Surgery in Clearwater, FL: Reshape Your Legs with Dr. Eric Egozi

What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that improves the proportionality of a patient's thighs in relation to their abdomen, buttocks, and legs. Dr. Eric Egozi performs thigh lift surgery in Clearwater to tighten skin and reduce drooping in the inner and outer thigh areas, allowing patients to tone their legs and show them off with confidence.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

Suitable candidates for thigh lift surgery typically meet the following criteria:

• Good overall physical and mental health
• Non-smoker
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Desire to remove excess skin around the waistline
• Within 15 pounds of ideal weight

Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery

Younger Appearance

Thigh lift surgery can restore firmer, shapelier, and more youthful-looking legs when exercise alone doesn't produce desired results.

Improved Comfort

After surgery, patients no longer experience thigh chafing when wearing shorts or skirts.

Enhanced Exercise Experience

Thigh lift surgery can make workouts easier for those who previously found it difficult due to thigh size or lack of tone.

Better Fitting Clothing

Patients often feel more attractive and comfortable in bathing suits and find that clothing fits better after thigh lift surgery.

Thigh Lift Surgery Procedure

Dr. Egozi typically makes an incision, lifts the skin, removes excess fat, and retightens the skin during thigh lift surgery. Deep sutures are used to support the new shape. The specific procedure details depend on the type of thigh lift being performed.

Types of Thigh Lifts

• Mini-Anterior Thigh Lift: Addresses loose skin on the upper inner thigh
• Medial Thigh Lift: Treats excess skin and fat on the inner thigh from groin to knee
• Lateral Thigh Lift: Removes excess fat and skin on the outer thigh, contouring outer thighs and buttocks

Recovery Process

Recovery from thigh lift surgery typically involves:

• 2-3 weeks off work
• 10 days of bedrest with legs slightly bent
• Wearing compression garments to minimize swelling
• Avoiding strenuous activities for 6 weeks
• Taking light walks to promote circulation
• Following a high-fiber, low-sodium diet
• Protecting scars from sun exposure for 3 months
